Josh at First State Motorsports in Delaware is an SC guru; I think he has owned two 800whp NA-Ts and fabs custom intake manifolds, downpipes etc.

I can't find the link for the site, but the shop number is:

302.798.7000

i heard about VIP recently too, im not sure about pricing, it seems none of the shops wanna tell you anything until you go out there in person.

if any of you find out anything please post it as will I.
depending on the feasibility i am either way at this point.

Cherplex i assume you're having a 2jz installed. did you buy it from one place and have it installed in another or are you doing both from the same place?

I have a built motor by MSP/Justice Race Engines with a BL/PTE78GTS-DBB.
Boost Logic/Auto Tuner Fuel with Dual OEM Pumps.
V160/6spd Swap with a Carbonetics Triple Disc Clutch and TRD LSD.
AEM EMS will be tuned by Brad Brooks. I should easily hit 950-1000rwhp.

My car originally came with a USDM 2JZ-GTE which is going into Cherplex's car. Hope he doesn't mind me saying so.
